Just this morning I have had the incredible blessing of reading reports from several church planters who make Stadia what it is.
Scott Bloyer, in Aurora, CO, just spent a wonderful day at Children's Hospital with the leading MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and Grudge match fighters, praying with the children and their families and sharing Christ with the families and with the Grudge trainers (I'm not quite sure what Grudge trainers do-- I don't need anyone to help me hold a grudge-- but I think it has to do with professional fighting on TV). As you can tell by my comment, I could probably never touch a grudge fighter for Jesus, but Scott and his team of MMA fighters do it all the time. So, together we can and we will!
Scott Pugh and Velocity Christian Church in South Euclid, OH have served their community so well that not only have 42 people been baptized in the past 20 months, but one of the Cleveland Browns players has agreed to do a football camp for all the youth of S. Euclid. I don't know any Cleveland Browns players, but Scott does, so, Together we can and we will!
Recently Tom Jones and Brent Foulke came back from Ecuador where more than 14 of our church plants and church planting partners are transforming 4 villages where no church exists. By April, these four villages will have churches bringing the gospel as well as clean water and education to the citizens. I don't speak Spanish, but the four church planting couples who will lead these works do, so, together we can and we will!
It's all about synergy which is a fancy word for saying that together we are better and accomplish more than we can alone.
